    I have worked a collie x and a collie x deer x grey in Woodland. You need a sensible dog who has been brought up around it and isVERY quick thinking. You also need nerves of steel and the ability to shut your eyes whilst the branches crunch around you..

    Very sorry for your loss. RIP Pickle.

    RIP to the poor young woman and her unborn child. There are pics of one of the dogs on the following links, definitely a bull type http://www.itv.com/news/calendar/story/2013-12-11/dog-attack-woman-dies/

    So what your saying is a person is either guilty..........OR.......they are unlucky.......they cant possibly be both ? If 50 people commit the same crime in the same circumstances and 49 of them get away with it are those 49 people lucky ? common sense tells me they are............ common sense also tells me unlucky is the opposite to lucky. Of course they should be punished if they are caught thats not the point. I'm struggling to see what your point is gnash. This was your 'point'that I was answering above, what's your point now? Yes im not disputing they was wrong we know that...

They are both doctors, supposedly intelligent people, they should know better than to do what they did! I know of parents who have been prosecuted for Child Neglect for leavi

    Agreed. It is a fact that if they had left their kids alone in this country and gone out on the drink, or even for a short trip to the supermarket.. and the kids had been found "home alone" they'd have been arrested and charged with child neglect, and their children removed from them. I know this. The argument that the child could have been kidnapped whilst the parents were asleep, really does not hold up, this is very different and is unlikely to have happened if they had not left their children alone, unsupervised. As has already been said, leaving 3 very young children alone, i

    I don't think it's right to mention a Borzoi. Let's stick to working deerhounds and their x's. The speed of the stride is relative to the distance of that stride. A lot of people believe the frantic stride of a small dog to be propelling that dog faster than the long slow stride of a big dog. That's not the case. People who've actually worked big dogs or have seen them work know all about speed. I wonder how many Waterloo Cup entrants were 23". If you can get hold of a fast non ped whippet, bring it down and we'll have a few long runs. You'll see the difference then. Stride may win ov

    Never had them called whippet types before, thats a new one.. as for not having speed, well I'd disagree on that, different running style to a 29" dog I agree, but a lot more versatile, whilst still maintaining the deerhound stamina and nature, but to me they are still deerhound types. I could never have ran the 29" bitch through woods.. (nor could I a whippety type come to think of it) dog on the left is a collie x, other 3 are deerhound x's

    big uns can be extremely functional if they are proportioned correctly, but I disagree with your comment "without height they aint deerhound types". If they have deerhound in them, they are deerhound types, with or without height.. I have two 23" deerhound types, whose ancestors are pictured in birddog's post, I also had a 29" first cross bitch, all of these, in my eyes are deerhound types.

    Have you seen the litter recently advertised by Magpie? Im not sure if all pups are yet spoken for, last I heard there was still one available, and sounds to me just what you could be looking for http://www.thehuntinglife.com/forums/topic/301369-a-bit-of-background/

    steep woodland is the worst place I've had to run my dogs, and most times, there were occasions where I did not dare look and had to shut my eyes.. but you get used to it, and after a while it seems quite normal..

    Anyone seriously looking for a collie x would be mad not to snap Magpies hands off; it isn't often pups of this calibre are offered for sale, and I know they were only bred so that he could keep a pup himself from Delta. Someone is going to be very lucky indeed. Good luck with the litter Magpie

    Was fascinating Tomo, wish I couldve stayed and watched them longer, it was unexpected and definitely made my day. They must be incredibly tough to work where they did.

    I saw some Podencos hunting on Mount Teide, Tenerife a couple of years ago. As has been said above they hunt with them in packs. The terrain they worked on was very harsh, high altitude - Mount Teide is volcanic and the highest point in Spain, and also very hot. Some of these dogs were hunting very near to the top, on volcanic ash, fascinating to watch, I was there to see the volcano, but watching the dogs working along the way was much more interesting and unexpected! They only hunt for two days of the week, Thursdays and Sundays and need permits to do so. I thought the dogs were qui

    Yep, had some enjoyable rat hunts with whippets but my preference will always be for plummers, for their marking ability, intelligence and agility.

    Safe to say he thoroughly enjoys his ratting and the pup and her siblings will be out with the rest of them in time to come

    Very true Blackstaff, it isn't all about numbers. We must have done too good a job the week before... Sometimes the dogs have to work that bit harder to get them when there aren't so many around, even with the help of machinery.
